Roof maintenance will impact every other aspect of your home. Although you probably don't give your roof much thought until there's a problem, the truth is that your roof has a huge impact on the structural integrity of your whole house. This is why roof repair should never be ignored or put off too long. Let's look at a few times when you probably need to invest in roof repair.

When an Inspection Reveals an Issue

To keep your roof in good shape you need to call in a roofing company regularly to inspect your roof for damage. According to Bob Vila, you should schedule a roof inspection twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. This is a crucial part of your roof maintenance. Since the roof isn't a part of your house that you can see on a daily basis, damage can happen and go unnoticed for a while. In fact, sometimes roof damage can go undetected until it's already caused leaks and water damage in other parts of the house. This is what you want to avoid.

When You Notice Leaks in the Home

A leak is caused by serious roof damage that has gone unaddressed. Once you notice a leak inside the home, this means that water has already saturated parts of the attic and insulation. Once a leak is apparent, you cannot waste any more time. You need a roofing company to come out for repairs immediately.

After Severe Weather Has Occurred

If you've recently had severe weather in your area, you'll want to call out a roofing company to examine the roof and make repairs. Heavy rains and strong winds can easily cause minor damage at the very least. If you've recently experienced a hail storm, it's even more important to have contractors come out quickly for roof repairs.

After 25 Years Have Passed

According to Architectural Digest, the lifespan of a well-installed roof is about 30 years. If you know the roof is at least this old, it's time to call a roofing company for repairs, and possibly replacement. Having the roof replaced before it starts to fall apart is a smart move. You don't want to wait until the roof is in bad shape. Being proactive will decrease the chances of you wasting money on repairs and leaks.
